Prayer: Francis de Sales

Dear Lord, we come to your sacred table to nourish ourselves, not with bread but with yourself, true bread of eternal life. Help us daily to make a good and perfect meal of this divine food. Let us be continually refreshed by the perfume of your kindness and goodness. May the Holy Spirit fill us with God’s love. Meanwhile, let us prepare a place for this holy food by emptying our hearts.

  1. Such a beautiful prayer worded in a very gentle way. May I empty myself of myself in preparation for the Lord. Amen.

  2. Happy Thanksgiving. I love this prayer, St Francis de Sales is a favorite of mine. Peace to you John - and I am thankful to have this on my heart today.

    1. Thanks, Fran. Francis is a favorite of mine too - a contemporary of Ignatius. Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings on your health, life, and loved ones.
